Abstract:
A breakout assembly (240) includes a distribution cable (220), a tether cable (242), and at least one optical fiber. The distribution cable includes a breakout location having a length. The tether cable is secured to the distribution cable. The optical fiber extends along the length of the breakout location (241) from the distribution cable to the tether cable. A polymeric tube (254) including ring-type reinforcements (252) extends along the length of the breakout location and encloses the optical fiber. The breakout location (241) includes a splice location (244) where selected fibres (224 dc ) of the distribution cable (220) are spliced to corresponding fibers (224 t ) of the tether (242). The breakout assembly (240) includes a splice sleeve 246 positioned over the spliced fibers (224 dc , 224 t ) and a splice holder (248) configured to secure the splice sleeve (246) to the distribution cable (220).
Abstract:
A fiber breakout for connecting a branch cable to a fiber optic distribution cable is disclosed. The fiber breakout can include an optical ribbon separated from the distribution cable at a breakout location. An overmold is formed over the optical ribbon and a portion of the distribution cable at the breakout location. An optical fiber breakout connector is also disclosed. The breakout connector has first and second ends, the first end having a multifiber connector for an optical ribbon, and the second end having a plurality of single port connectors. A fiber breakout separates the optical ribbon into a plurality of fibers.
Abstract:
A method of terminating a fiber optic cable includes removing a portion of an outer jacket from an end of a fiber optic cable to expose an end portion of an optical fiber so that an end of the optical fiber extends a first axial length from the outer jacket. A portion of the fiber optic cable is coiled about a spool so that the end of the optical fiber extends a second axial length from the outer jacket. The second axial length is greater than the first axial length. A second optical fiber is spliced to the optical fiber of the fiber optic cable. The portion of the fiber optic cable is uncoiled so that the optical fiber retracts into the outer jacket of the fiber optic cable.

The fiber optic network further includes a cabling arrangement including a first signal line that extends from the drop terminal to the optical network terminal, a second signal line that extends from the optical network terminal to the wireless transceiver, and a power line that extends from the optical network terminal to the wireless transceiver.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic telecommunications cable assembly (240) including a main fiber optic cable (220) and a tether cable (244) that branches from the main fiber optic cable at a breakout location (246). The fiber optic telecommunications cable assembly also includes a breakout block (254) mounted to the main fiber optic cable at the breakout location, and an over-mold (260) that covers the breakout block and at least a portion of the main fiber optic cable. The breakout block defines a straight- through channel (306) in which the main fiber optic cable is received and a breakout channel (308) that branches out from the straight -through channel. The breakout block includes seams (302,304) with overlap configurations (326,330.334,338,343,353) that prevent the over-mold from entering the breakout block through the seams. The breakout block also includes barrier dams (346) for preventing bonding material from entering the breakout channel.
